The six-day event brought together 200 businesses from Viet Nam, South Africa, India, Cambodia, the Republic of Korea and China along with local and foreign trade promotion agencies.

According to Hua Tu Anh, Director of the city’s Trade Promotion Centre - the event organiser - the fair provides a good opportunity for enterprises in countries along the corridor to seek business partners and expand their markets.

Some 200 pavilions are displaying a variety of tourism products and services, trade and investment projects, consumer goods, electronics and information technology, food processing equipment, wooden products and interior decorations.

Conferences on trade and investment promotion and art performance programmes will be arranged in the framework of the event.
